As an apprentice in commercial new construction, the big hangars are more my wheelhouse. Clevis hangars and Riser Clamps are really all I use. 4"-8" pipe is the norm for drainage, so far up to 15" at times. Got some good tips that I can use at work. Thank you!
Hmmm. My first consideration would be is that floor (being the zero datum point) level and the underside of deck or timber or steel ceiling frame work actually parallel to that dubious floor? Back in my years as an electrician and mechanical plumber, when setting up cable trays and pipe hangers on Unistrut, we considered the All-thread rod (Brooker Bar) as dirt cheap, so cut em with at least 100mm excess length > fixed to ceiling > assembled strut with nuts > then laser leveled to correct height > then snapped off the excess rod (which distorted last threads preventing nuts unwinding and the whole assembly potentially falling) using a length of thick walled steel tube. A few bends and they snap off. Quick and dirty maybe... but time was more valuable than that rod, or the wasted time if a rod proved to be too short and had to be replaced.
The reflection in the background was quite distracting, making it difficult to focus on the dialogue. It might just be me, but the reflection seemed to amplify the camera change every time. 💀 Otherwise, always great to watch roger talk about nuts and pipe 😂
@@smallztipsandtricks7646 I guess I can see its use. I work commercial and sometimes my shop gives me a residential house here and there. I’ve always made do with a tape measure, sharpie, and a piece of cardboard. Honestly, ive got too many tools to want to add more. If I’m piping through walls I’ll mark my studs with a chalk line. If I’m pipe in a ceiling, I’ll run a tape off of whatever’s closer, the floor or the ceiling. Story stick gets tougher when your piping with pitch and your hanger spacing is inconsistent. The job I’m running right now has some bad ironworkers and their I beams are all over the place… makes it hard to get a consistent pitch without a mathing out every hanger.
Roger you would really confuse the viewers if you tried to show how to set clevis hangers for a waste system at 2% fall from POC to about 30’ away hahah
The O on your logo would be cool and use the A for the A on Wakefield and keep the 2 connected ! Anyway thanks for all the tips . I take my tradesman soon and watching your videos a lot !
Wow he posted what I wanted. Right on!

No story stick instructions? Its a helpful tool and rarely used
Probably no instructions because it’s rarely used….
I used to use it in commercial often enough
